WHAT WE LEARNED
+ In Writing, J and S (3rd and 1st grade) wrote stories about what it would be like to take a trip to outer space. Afterward, they created rocket ships (made from Pringles cans!) for their final drafts to slip into. This turned out to be such a fun little project.
+ We scrapped our science plans for the week to check out the new chemistry set that Sophie got for her birthday.
+ D (5th grade) finished reading The Perilous Road this week. His final project was to create a comic strip showing how the main character eventually changed his prejudiced opinions. He did a great job!
